Anyone find a way to get this port to work with Thunderbird? Let me outline my steps. First I port installed gpg2 and gpg-agent: sudo port -v install gnupg2 gpg-agent Next, I read the man pages for gpg-agent and do this to my ~/.profile: 000-400-132:~ altoine$ cat ~/.profile # # Your previous .profile (if any) is saved as .profile.mpsaved # Setting the path for MacPorts. export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH # # Script for ensuring only one instance of gpg-agent is running # and if there is not one, start an instance of gpg-agent. if test -f $HOME/.gpg-agent-info && \ kill -0 `cut -d: -f 2 $HOME/.gpg-agent-info` 2>/dev/null; then GPG_AGENT_INFO=`cat $HOME/.gpg-agent-info` export GPG_AGENT_INFO else eval `gpg-agent --daemon` echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO >$HOME/.gpg-agent-info fi # Imperative that this environment variable always reflects the output # of the tty command. GPG_TTY=`tty` export GPG_TTY # What I have in my environment is this: 000-400-132:~ altoine$ env TERM_PROGRAM=Apple_Terminal GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-rHDjL0/S.gpg-agent:213:1 TERM=xterm-color SHELL=/bin/bash TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION=133 USER=altoine __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x1F5:0:0 PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin PWD=/Users/altoine GPG_TTY=/dev/ttyp1 SHLVL=1 HOME=/Users/altoine LOGNAME=altoine SECURITYSESSIONID=60d9a0 _=/usr/bin/env This is what I have in my ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf: 000-400-132:~ altoine$ cat ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf default-key 12345678 #I modified this part from the actual key. charset utf8 keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net use-agent # GPG_AGENT_INFO should be set during gpg-agent startup. In certain situations # the use of this variabe is not possible, thus the option # # --gpg-agent-info=<path>:<pid>:1 # # may be used to orverride it. utf8-strings In my enigmail preferences I have in the Basic Tab the override path set to /opt/local/bin/gpg2. I still receive a notice in Thunderbird that I do not have gpg-agent running. Also, I imported my keys from my other computer to this one and gave ultimate trust to my three secret keys and set one as the primary if that may be relevant. I would like to have this working through MacPorts. If anyone has a solution, I am all ears. Please save me. I am working with Mac OS X 10.4.9 on a PowerPC G4 with all the latest and greatest updates. The latest XCode version 2.4.1, Thunderbird version 2.0.0.0 (20070326), and enigmail 0.95.0. TIA -Altoine
